Billboards, posters and print ads are helllllla expensive and wouldn't get her the same exposure as strategic stunts, though.
Exactly - gives her personal presence without actually being there. Perfect for most places she won't be able to visit during promo, or tide them over till she gets there.
You just know the Asian countries would worship it as a diety. Or burn it for blasphemy. Either way, press is press and it'd actually be interesting to have the burnt statue in the gallery. It'd be great commentary on her fame.
That's an amazing idea We should find a way to make it trend on Twitter or something. Or open a thread here. You know, Gaga stalks us.
I hope she tones it down a notch this era. I don't want front-loaded sales.
Promo in November-December will be massive and we all know it. The album needs to make the most out of holiday sales. I expect SNL, X-Factor, The Voice, maybe AMAs and a lot of late night shows in the US and some big promo spots in major markets like the UK, France, Germany, Japan, Australia etc. I hope Italy too and Netherlands because she needs to.

I expect solid numbers first week, however. 300-500 please.
I'd be happy if she did 400. But honeslty it all depends on the promo. I'll be happy if she sells like as many copies first week as the second week, and not like 1 million first week and like 80K second week.
450 - 200 - 100 - 100 - 100 - 100 - 80
just like this, and more like the way The Fame sold.

It won't be frontloaded. The GP will take time to decide if they'll actually regain their respect for her and buy the album - just like they're doing with Applause now, Applause is rising slowly and so will the album.
Take no prisoners and sell as much as you can first week. We cannot count on singles to keep selling tons of albums.
Yeah but hype and over-promotion is what killed BTW's momentum in the long run. When you have the album already, you won't buy singles. No singles charting = less album sales.
I'm all here for her to equally disperse her promo for both the album release and singles. She can do more coverage that way and it will last longer, which will result in bigger sale numbers in the end but more importantly era will have longevity which means more singles (videos, performances etc.)
ithas been on power rotation on medium sized stations for the past few days thus the 1m + increase
today update is probably due to pick up by other big stations.
Amp put it in PR
Z100 put the song in PR too. the effect will come tomorrow though
She's already got a slot on X Factor UK, I'm gunna assume she also do Jonathan Ross/Chatty Man/Graham Norton depending which of them airing at the time and perhaps This Morning or Daybreak too
